We woke up Sunday morning and began preparing for the great egg off! My dad always gets great eggs from the women who work in his office and this week he had both farm raised eggs AND farm raised low cholesterol eggs (the green ones). And so...we had an egg off. We each tasted an egg from the grocery store, a farm raised and a low cholesterol. After being mildly disappointed that the green shells didn't also produce green eggs, we were off to fry away. All the eggs were cooked over medium and mom was in there flipping like a pro! Her and I knew which egg was which on the plates, but Tyler and dad were our blind tasters. As it turns out, knowing or not knowing, it all produced the same result. The store bought eggs quickly dropped to the bottom of everyone's list. The yolk was a light yellow compared to the deep golden yolks of the other two. And the flavor was not nearly as rich when compared to the others side by side. While the two farm raised eggs looked similar in yolk color, the farm raised egg tasted VERY rich. Something you notice when eating it alone, as we have done before, but when compared to the low cholesterol it seemed almost too rich. Both farm raised eggs were very tasty but across the board, we enjoyed the low cholesterol eggs the best. Who'd have thunk it?! And why is someone not taking advantage of this fact??
We headed back to Charlotte and swung through the grocery store to shop for the week. Then Brent and Cari carme over for a play/dinner date. We had hot dogs and sausages on the grill and finally got the chance to catch up over dinner and Bobcats basketball. We even caught a few minutes of the Pens game. Cari enjoyed spending most of her time out in the yard while Tess lounged inside after being obviously worn out from playing with Sophie and Cari. It was the perfect way to end a great weekend!
